MSP on COREL Web site!

This is opinion and purely opinion.

I suspect there may, in fact, be no development team associated with MediaStudio Pro... period.

I would completely agree with that. If the plan is to discontinue MSP, then the Engineering team has more than likely either already been disbanded, or at least sent to further work in other departments.

Considering the promises we were made by Ulead before they folded

When companies are sold... all bets are off... even promises.

My simplistic notion is that MSP is merely Videostudio with more features enabled.
The same for DWS and MovieFactory.
So - MSP and DWS require little extra effort to write. They've been tested already in the lower spec. apps.

I, therefore, still have hope of these two apps. being updated / made compatible for vista.

I'm afraid your simplistic notion is incorrect. MSP and VS had different development teams working independently. Some new ideas were tried out in VS and then re-hashed to work in MSP, that is true, but there was no way that you could simply transport a new VS feature into MSP. I happen to know that some of the DVD-WS team were absorbed into the MF team.

We all HOPE that development on MSP/WS will continue, but a pious hope is not necessarily reality.

We teach Multimedia. We use MSP8 for our "Video for Multimedia" teaching. We teach in an institution which runs student labs on a standard cloned image and that is changing to Vista at the start of 2008. Our trials with Vista:
(1) Using "Compatibility Mode Windows XP (SP2)" for installation and running. MSP8 installs OK on the 2nd attempt. Video Capture works. Video Editor fails.
(2) Using VMWARE to run a "Windows XP SP2 Virtual Machine" under Vista. MSP8 Video Editor works but so slowly as to be of no practical use. Virtual Machine Task Manager shows CPU maxxing out 100%.
(3) Using "Compatibility Mode" to try to install/run MSP7 - Video Editor does not work. MSP6.5 - same result.


Windows Vista Business on a locally assembled PC with Intel Core Duo CPU "6300@1.86GHz" and 3 Gig of RAM.

I'm afraid that your only solution is not to downgrade to Vista!

My teaching with MSP8 is a small part of the teaching done in a large institution. I therefore do not control these machines and I am not able to follow your advice.
